Mount Tsukuba

Mount Tsukuba, with its twin peaks, is an 877-meter sacred mountain dominating the Kanto plain. It's the territory of Purple Shadow, the mysterious duo known for their purple Honda S2000 and devastating team tactics.

Tsukuba has been venerated since ancient times, visible from Tokyo on clear days. Purple Shadow chose this mountain for its combination of speed and technique, perfect for the light and agile S2000.
